Random Thoughts Thursday (late afternoon edition)

My computer crashed yesterday. It's in the shop now. Of course, the most devastating thing about it was knowing that I might not be able to do a Random post today! I mean, my public needs me, right? Right?

Fortunately, Chris's laptop, which for the last two months has refused to work with our wireless connection, decided this afternoon would be a good time to start working again. So, commence Random Thinking...

I have an irrational fear of double-decker bridges. I think it stems back to the fact that the first time I'd ever heard of a double-decker bridge was when the Oakland Bay Bridge collapsed in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. I pretty much hold my breath whenever I drive over the Marquam Bridge.

I learned last weekend that Ellie wants to be a veterinarian, a ski instructor, and in a band when she grows up. Life is nothing without ambition.

I love book club Thursdays!

I'm supposed to be participating in a family-wide triathlon this Saturday (Chris and I are here, the rest of the family is in Utah). Should be interesting. Seeing as how I haven't done a thing to train for it, I may die.

My NAMIWalk is in two weeks! I'm very excited, and incredibly amazed at the support I've received!

I guess I should start fixing dinner. I don't want to. But I will, and it will be yummy.

********
Your turn!

If you do a Random Thoughts post on your own blog, I'd love to know about it! Leave me a comment and I'll come read!

Hey, I was supposed to be in a triathalon on saturday too- I piked. Which is possibly an aussieism for i am not going to do that. Apparently no one my team has trained much, so I wouldn't have stood out.
